The 'Big Fish Theory' artist launched the campaign last week, giving fans the option to donate to the cause of allowing him to "shut the f**k up forever".

"No songs, no interviews, no anything," promised Staples. "Get off of my d**k, or fund my lifestyle. Either way, we appreciate you."

He then coincidentally launched a song called 'Get the F**k off my Dick'.

After raising US$2200 through the GoFundMe, Staples closed the campaign, announcing that he would be giving the money back.

He wrote on Twitter, "Seeing as we clearly won't reach our goal of 2 million dollars, I am cancelling the gofundme and refunding all the little people with big voices. I expect to hear no further slander."

He then revealed he would be "personally matching the donations made and donating the full amount to the Michelle Obama library of [North Long Beach]... in honor of you citch ass n***as. (sic).
